hi :) these photos are from Vessel, which is new and located in manhattan. amanda deserves all of the credit for this as it was her idea - she truly is the best tour guide and always has a million ideas of what to do when i’m visiting. even then, she still puts together great itineraries when she’s traveling (even leaving room for spontaneity) - it’s one of her superpowers, i swear.

amanda also attracts serendipitous moments - i was looking up tickets for Vessel when a family walked up and handed us two extra tickets.

the views from Vessel are absolutely incredible, and it’s a nice little workout with all of the stairs. there are also shops nearby but we didn’t stop. i would maybe avoid Vessel on a hot day unless you’re in the mood for the cardio but other than that, it’s definitely worth checking out.

thank you for reading and thank you to amanda for always being the best travel buddy. and life buddy. she’s the best.

a note on vessel:

in light of recent news, i wanted to share the national suicide prevention hotline, which is is 800-273-8255. alternatively, you can text Crisis Text Line by texting “HOME” to 741741.
